BATB X - Week VIII

What happens when every trick on a skateboard has been done in a battle between two combatants? Do they start over from scratch? Or do the no grabs/no hand plants/no feet on the ground (and the new no manny bullshit Malto rule) become free play? Do they have to start creating new tricks—if thats even possible? Do they start having to do tricks on spots? Has that ever happened before? Those are the questions I asked myself as I watched, or shot, P-Rod battle it out with Cookie. Wow, definitely one of those battles to remember and one for the BATB record books. Here are photos from that exhausting battle, as well as the “Battle of Pop” between Torey and Luan from round I, week VIII of X. —Yoon
